Partnership Strategies & Leadership

Examples of previous work in this area include:

One Tam

One Tam—a partnership of the Marin Municipal Water District, National Park Service, California State Parks, Marin County Parks, and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy—was formed to offer a more unified approach to priority restoration projects, fundraising, and science, education, and volunteer programs on Mt. Tam. Michelle O’Herron spent three years on the core team responsible for One Tam’s formation, launch, and management. She was also instrumental in its original public engagement and communications strategy and developing compelling materials to build awareness and support for the newly launched initiative. She continues to help coordinate and deliver One Tam’s communications and public engagement activities today.

Redwoods Rising

Redwoods Rising is a partnership among Redwood National and State Parks and Save the Redwoods League focused on accelerating the pace of restoration for the parks’ previously logged redwood forests and protecting its remaining old-growth stands. Our firm is providing both strategic and technical support for Redwoods Rising’s foundational agreements, organizational structure, vision and goals setting, meeting facilitation, and the development of fundraising and other outreach materials. Michelle O’Herron is currently also facilitating the development and implementation of a communications and stakeholder strategy for the partnership.

California Landscape Stewardship Network

The California Landscape Stewardship Network is an emerging network of networks focused on bringing together landscape stewardship practitioners from across the state to overcome barriers to collaboration, develop and share partnership resources and efficiencies, build awareness of the value of working at scale, and increase investment among funders and legislators. O’Herron & Company is a part of the network’s core team and is also supporting its early communications and branding efforts.
